Application filed April 29, 1915, Serial No. 24,776. Renewed June 13, 1918. Serial No. 239,889.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHESTER Y. CLAwsoN, a citizen of the United States, residin at Salt Lake City, in the county of Salt ake and State of Utah, have invented a new and useful Milk- Bottle and the like, of which the followin is a specification.

This invention re ates to milk bottles and the like and more particularly to" a bottle having means whereby the upper portion of the liquid contents of the bottle can be drawn off without disturbing the lower portion thereof, thus permitting the removal of cream which may accumulate within the upper portion of the bottle.

Another object is to provide a structure of this character which can be readily manufactured and which has simple and efficient means for sealing the bottle to prevent theaccidental escape of liquid from the bottle.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of' parts and in the details of construction hereinafter de-' scribed and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the in vention hereinv disclosed, can be made within the scope of what is claimed, without de-' parting from thespirit of the invention,

In the accompanyingdrawings the preferred form of the invention has been shown.

In said drawings Figure 1 is an elevation of the upper portion of a milk bottle and showing the present improvements combined therewith. k F Fig. 2 is an enlarged section on line AB Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 designates a portion of a milk bottle or janhaving the usual means for closing the upper end thereof. The wall of the bottle is thickened, near the base of the neck thereof, as shown at 2 and formed.

within this .thickened portion is a' circular recess 3 having a concentric opening '4 in the inner wall thereof, through which liquid is free to esoapefrom the interior of the monly used for closing the top of a bottle.

The bottom portion of the wall of recess 3 is extended outwardly to form a lip or spout 7 so that, when the cap 6 is removed, the liquid escaping through the opening 4 will be directed outwardly in a stream from the lip 7 and into a receptacle placed against the side of the bottle -1.

It'will be seen that the entire device can be manufactured as cheaply as an ordinary bottle, and in using the bottle it is only necessary to employ two caps instead of one as heretofore, one cap being used to close the top of the bottle, and the other being used to close the opening 4. When the bottle is full of milk, the cream rises to the top and, when it is desired to remove this cream without disturbing the remainder of the contents, cap 6 is removed from recess 3 so that liquid above opening 4 will gravitate through said opening as heretofore pointed out. What is claimed is z- 7 A bottle having a circular recess in the outer face of the wall thereof, the bottom wall of the recess being thickened to provide an outwardly projecting pouring lip,

there being a continuous groove within the wall of the recessand the bottom portion of wall of the recess presenting an extensive bearing surface for the disk closure.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
